Maddox was granted contract opportunities against, Ryback, Brodus Clay, The Great Khali, and Sheamus. All of which after defeating Maddox were at some point attacked by The Shield.
As for Cena? His attack by The Shield came after Maddox approached Heyman asking for his help to get him a job.
Now The Rock? Same. His attack comes after Maddox approaches Heyman for help getting a job.
Marked when they attacked The Rock. The Shield have been a bit directionless atm, but attacking The Rock just before his big Royal Rumble match with Punk certainly got everyone's attention back on them. Punk/Rock is even more exciting now with the possibility of them interfering and maybe even costing Rock the match, although I still think Rock will win. I hope The Shield will be in the Rumble match. We knew WWE were high on The Shield, but I didn't think they were this high on them to let them be involved with guys like Ric Flair and The Rock so early into their careers, it's great to see.
I'm actually finding them really boring now. There's no growth to them they simply do the same thing and they are basically just added here and there for little purpose. At least Nexus had character, I'm finding the Shield rather bland.
A fine example of getting a "rub" from The Great One as well, Sandow and Cody just about the same, getting a promo that allows you to go "one-on-one with The Great One" as The Rock would put it, is good for the future talent.
Some might see it as a bad thing, trust me, I can get that, "It makes The Rock look weak going into his match with CM Punk." But considering her got up from it, despite the "internal bleeding" also shows The Rock's toughness as well.
So really in the end it works out for everyone. The Shield can look tough, The Rock can look tough after the attack, "intestinal fortitude", and it pushes The Shield out of the Punk vs. Rock match-up.
Brock is the leader. Afterall, he is the lord and master of the WWE Universe as deemed when he beat Triple H in a hair match. And The Rock sells death better than anyone.
They make The Three Stooges seem like College Professors.... Three of the greatest jerkos I've ever seen. They should be booted outta there..but heck, it's *all* entertainment, right?
Dwayne shouldnt be putting any of these guys over. Shield suck and their gimmick fails. I think it was disrespectful Dwayne having to get beat up by Shield
Every time i see you put something in this forum, i really think more brain cells have died in your head. So because Dwayne is a legend he should be out of the Shield's view? Get the hell out of here, you apparently know nothing about wrestling. Shoulden't you be outside Kelly's house going through her garbage?
I completely agree. The Rock is that sort of person though, he isn't selfish and loves the business unlike somebody *cough* Cena *cough* so he understands that people need to be put over and he does it right.
and i speak as someone who isn't fond of The Rock, his mic work isn't my cup of tea at all (I would describe my taste as 'eloquent intensity')but I do respect him and what he does and has done for wrestling.
I got agitated every time they specifically say "there was a tape found back stage today made by the shield...." and the tape has cut up scenes to look like it was randomly put together and it's shitty quality. Then there are promos and montages of recaps and highlights that are professionally done.
I know it's not real, duh. But I like the unprofessional look of the tapes and the choppy feel; it definitely made it feel like they're more rebels then just generic bad guys.
Contrary to what some may believe, there is a reason why they haven't had any one-on-one matches yet. I don't know what that is but that's the beauty of it. It's a developing storyline. So many fans suffer from ADD they just can't wait for the story to play out. No storytelling, just an instant payoff! I mean, it's like if they were reading a novel entitled "Believe: The Shield of Justice", they would read the first few chapters, skip 200 pages, read the climax, and complain they didn't like how it ended.
Indeed, they are edgy and not afraid to be more aggressive in that ring and outside of it, they made The Rock spit up some blood cause they went a bit too hard on him. Reminds me of Lesnar hitting Cena on the lip and making him bleed (even though that looked like a work seeing how much they made cena bleed during their match).
What i want to see is the Shield growing, becoming bigger than they are now, maybe after Punk loses his title he confesses he indeed was with the Shield, make Punk his leader, make Paige from NXT come in as a female member, she is perfect for it as the Anti-Diva! Btw, remember Punk during the WWE 13 advertisement? He has the same kind of gear as The Shield!
Shield are one of the best things going right now, I like the mystery about them, what is the injustice stuff about? Are they working for Heyman, where are they heading in Wrestlemania? Has anyone thought of them destroying the Rumble without being in it, turn up out of the crowd and get rid of 10 people?
Re: Could WWE introduce more of the NXT people as members of The Shield?
No. The Shield does not need any more members and nobody on NXT is the caliber of Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns apart from Bray Wyatt, who could not be a member for obvious reasons.

The Shield, in my opinion, has already became so stale. The WWE are so damn awful at using talent, all they have had The Shield do for the past 3 months is come out, attack people and either walk out, or get a beat down from someone else. Its obvious there is a storyline written out for this, and hopefully it actually gets into it at Royal Rumble.
Re: Could WWE introduce more of the NXT people as members of The Shield?
The Shield has enough members already. I just wish the writers would give them something better than just running in and beating down someone. These guys are very talented.
